“What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?” This was a question I asked online the other day to try and find out the problems you are confronted with when you go shopping. There were a few clients who were the inspiration for this line of thought through the conversations we had in the changing rooms that probably make more sense now, after all the time we've had over the past year to reflect on our style and choices ...
How hard do you struggle to fit into clothes that don’t represent you, or to fit into a style that you see on Social Media? In a world of hashtags and algorithms, finding a style that represents your true self has become more and more difficult.
When it comes to shoes I am very picky: I like simplicity, quality and comfort and prefer to have a few pieces to choose from, but in summer it is not always easy. I walk a lot in Paris (27K steps a day) and there are no better shoes than sneakers to help me get through the day ...

Creating your closet with the right investment pieces can save you money over time. Investment pieces may cost more upfront, but they will be more valuable in time as you will wear them over and over and still be timeless and in good condition.
I am used to feeling worthy only when I am productive, when I work a lot, and for as long I can remember, since I changed my country for the first time, all I knew was work. I love working, have never said no to job calls, and I always measured my self-worth with the amount of work I am getting done. But for a while now things have been different; after living through the first year of a pandemic, there has been a carousel of emotions and states of mind, and the work side of things has definitely not been the same ...
The white shirt was always a trend, a wardrobe staple―a piece of clothing that was simple but at the same time sophisticated, elegant, mysterious.
This article started from an imaginary situation, in which I was wondering if I were to choose just French brands for clothing, what pieces I would buy and from what brands?
IF YOU ARE A REGULAR here at TIG, you will know how much we love our summer whites. This summer, however, the trend has shifted toward summer black, if that were ever a thing. From strapless sundresses to sexy cut-outs; linen two pieces and midi dresses, pleated playsuits and more, here are a few of our favourite pieces in shades of black, along with a little style inspiration on how to wear them ...
THERE HAVE BEEN a few great trends for spring-summer 2021 so far—waistcoats, shrunken cardigans, Breton stripes and billowy summer dresses—just to name a few, but here are OUR VERY FAVOURITES: from the return of the silk satin midi skirt to the crisp and classic blue shirt (with or without stripes); preppy coordinated sweater sets and tiny tennis skirts; oversized trench coats and pretty silk scarves..
IN LATE APRIL, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a pair of wide-legged pleated pants, a white t-shirt paired with an oversized crisp white shirt. It was head-to-toe The Row, and it was easily the chicest spring outfit this year. The epitome of casual elegance, it was both dressy and comfortable ...
Since this past month we’ve been in lockdown here in Paris and had an early curfew, I took the time at home to go through some of my favourite movies again and to discover some new ones. There are many films out there that offer perfect styling inspiration and I wanted to share a few of them here.
As a child I remember often going to check out the packed racks of clothes at a local second-hand store with my mother. These trips were the starting point of my learning to appreciate good quality fabrics and cuts. Family members were often envious of my selections.
Now that it's officially spring in the Northern Hemisphere, we're feeling to the urge to overhaul everything in the house, clean every last corner and re-organise. We're also feeling more drawn to a lighter, more natural colour palette at this time of year, and have gathered a few things on our shopping list ...
Seeing people dressed in trench coats on the streets inspires me, maybe more than other pieces of clothing, for my brain somehow always associates the silhouette with cinema scenes. There are a few great movies that showcase the classic trench and I’d like to share a few of my favourites.
